WHAT WE DO
HOW WE CAN HELP
With over 60 working groups and 80 world class experts in
the most advanced digital technologies, we can surely help
your company embrace new business opportunities
Focus on some hot W3C topics
Linked data and semantic Web
Digital Publishing
Open data; e-gov
HTML5 as an integration platform
Web & TV
Web Payment
Web of Things
W3C Data Activity (1/2)
DATA ON THE WEB :
to develop the open data ecosystem, facilitating better communication between developers and publishers;
to provide guidance to publishers that will improve consistency in the way data is managed, thus promoting the re-use of data;
to foster trust in the data among developers, whatever technology they choose to use, increasing the potential for genuine innovation.
The guidance will take two forms: a set of best practices that apply to multiple technologies, and vocabularies currently missing but that are needed to support the data ecosystem on the Web.
WHAT WE DO
W3C Data Activity (2/2)
CSV ON THE WEB :
Provide technologies whereby data dependent applications on the Web can provide higher interoperability when working with datasets using the CSV format :
mechanisms for interpreting a set of CSVs as relational data
(definition of a vocabulary for describing tables expressed as CSV, and the relationships between them)
Objective: CSVs as 5 star data - a format that allows data to be linked to other sources - using the Web as an intelligent data platform rather than as a simple distribution system for files containing inaccessible data
WHAT WE DO
Focus on semantic web
HOW WE CAN HELP
Provides a common framework to share
Linked Data across applications, enterprises, and communities
Participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners Based on the Resource Description Framework RDF, OWL, SPARQL
Several active groups (RDF, SPARQL, Linked Data Platform…) involving worldwide
leaders (Google, Baidu, Yandex…)

Handheld device issued by bank with display, keypad and card slot User inserts card for one of several authentication protocols
Finger swipe or PIN entry in conjunction with Secure Element
Secure element with compute and storage resources, e.g. SIM or microSD
Secure element generates proof of user's presence following local authentication of user
Need to separate identity and
authentication - lack of global standards

W3C and web payment : workshop positioning
HOW WE CAN HELP
Workshop to take place in Paris, March 2014 Is it timely to initiate work on Web payment APIs?
Start with simple payment request API
Browser hands over request to wallet for user to choose how to pay Users may be asked to authenticate themselves and confirm payment Selected payment provider generates proof of payment for merchant Wallet and payment providers as examples of trusted system apps
Later expand scope to offline and person to person payments Ensuring a level playing field for payment providers, existing and new, large and small!
Need to be able to install new payment providers after device
has shipped
